Hyde Clarendon Sixth Form College students have been celebrating after achieving a fantastic set of A-level results. Students at the college smashed the national A-level pass rate, achieving a 99 per cent pass rate in A-level subjects.

In 19 subjects, students achieved 100 per cent pass rates including the science subjects of physics, chemistry, biology and human biology. More students also achieved higher grades in A-level subjects than ever before.

Karl Fairhurst who previously attended Egerton Park Arts College achieved four A* grades in biology, chemistry, maths and physics. He amassed 560 UCAS points with his results and will be moving on to the University of Manchester to study Chemical Engineering.

Vocational students at the college also impressed in the latest round of results. Over 40 students achieved triple distinctions, which is the equivalent to three A grades at A -level. The performance in drama was particularly impressive with triple distinctions being awarded to every student on the course.

College principal Peter Ryder said: “These results are fantastic. I’m particularly pleased that more students have gone on to achieve higher grades.“In a year when competition for university places is at its highest, our students have responded admirably.”
